Sorry but 802.11b is more than enough to sling with..  Even if you only getting a 1mb transmit rate.. this is more then enough to sling with for a watchable picture.  Optimal - maybe not, but watchable yes.

Remote viewing works on 256-384kbit up.. an your saying even if we cut 802.11b bandwidth in 1/4 2mb is not enough? Yeah OK.

Yes there is quite a bit of overhead in wifi, that does mean its not useable for slinging. 11mbit will normally get you somewhere between 4 and 5.5mbit.. This is clearly more than enough for a decent sling.

Now is this what the poster is getting - have no idea.  But in general B is more then enough to sling by.

What sucks about the picture? More than likely its the fact your pulling it off broadcast?  Or some RF input?  you have the tuner sling..  Yeah analog off the the air broadcast do suck ;) The does not mean your picture quality is related to your network bandwidth.

But I would agree that G will give you more bandwidth, an better picture an response than B.. An as stated you should be able to move to a decent encryption method. WPA2 is the current standard.

I would also agree, unless you have a SPECIFIC current imediate need for the bandwith can bring - I would stay away from the n devices until final.
